New Moon in LIbra

This
New Moon takes place at 6:14 UCT on Wednesday 24 September 2014 in Libra 1°08', a few hours after the Autumn Equinox. This is the moment when Sun and Moon are exactly conjunct. With
the New Moon, or Lunation, an old cycle ends and a new one starts. The
sign where the Moon is positioned at the initial New Moon determines the
energy and Intent of the entire cycle. With this New Moon in Libra, the
lunar cycle will be characterised by Libra topics (relationships,
partnerships, co-operation, balance, art, beauty, etc.).

The
New Moon’s astrological sign (Libra) strategically embodies both the
features of your intention and the way of dealing with the release
process of the previous cycle. What is gestated during the New Moon will
then be revealed at Full Moon, which is at 10:51 UCT on 8 October 2014
in Aries 15° 07’.

New
Moons are times of transition when the seed is available, yet it has
not taken a distinct form. In this crucial moment intuitions, dreams and
special events may offer clues about the form that will develop.

The
New Moon is a male phase, with initiation and activity being prevalent.
It carries a new awareness and a shift of perspective. This allows
space for setting the Intent and foundations of new projects and the
release of old cycles. Since the whole scenario is obscure, it is also a
time of vulnerability and uncertainty. This strongly encourages
refraining from relevant enterprises or initiatives in the outer world.
It is an ideal moment to relate with one’s multidimensional self, or
Guide, to take some rest and reflect upon the lessons of life, to
release what is no longer needed.

A most basic question at all levels and especially in the realm of relationships is:

On
a New Moon questions require honest answers, which are not conditioned
by general or cultural ideas, and strictly refer to one’s own
uncontaminated awareness.

Honestly,
finding an answer to the above question may require more than a
life-time, though a provisional and legitimate answer may be: "I don't
have any clue", or "I don't know, yet I am determined to find it out",
or "Perhaps it is....", or "According to ... it is ..."

There
are more questions to follow, yet they all depend upon the answer to
the above question. It is entirely up to you whether to move to the next
questions or stay with the original question until you get a satisfying
answer. Whatever the case, whether you move on out of achieved clarity
or impatience, it is advisable to return to the first question from time
to time.

Hence, if you have chosen to stay with the
first question, you can stop reading this note now, otherwise you can
move on to further questions, though I take the liberty not to recommend
it.

Further questions may be:

What is the true purpose of my current relationships?

What sources support this purpose?

In which way can my relationships contribute to the human and natural environment?

What talents are generated from my relationships and how can I use them in the present?

What grievances are produced from my relationships and how can I heal them?

Am I merely projecting on my relationships, falling in love with them, or the other way around, or am I loving them?

What does it mean to love them?

Do I fall in love or do I love?

“Falling
in love” is literally loving a part of oneself which the projection
process places on the screen of another being. This displacement and
reception of a part of one’s being causes the bliss of love, if the
other willingly receives and responds to it, or the pain of love, if the
other rejects or only partially accepts the projection. “Falling in
love” makes demands on the other, willing or unwilling. “Loving”, on the
other hand, is free and giving; it requires nothing in return, has no
expectations, accepts the other without judgment or reservation, and
wants only that which can be freely and willingly given out of the
other’s Self. The relationships where “falling in love” turns into
“loving” as the initial projection wanes are those that endure with the
greatest depth and beauty. (Edwin C. Steinbrecher, The Inner Guide Meditation)

The
degree of the New Moon, or Lunation point, indicate an area of life
that will operate as Intent and driving force during the next cycle. In
this New Moon it is Libra 1°08'.

This New Moon is the binary
7.7, a climax of cardinal air. At its core level Libra concerns the
search and finding of the primary relationship and the original Intent
of the interaction among human beings. Here you have the chance of
voyaging into time and space, experiencing and healing most ancient
mythic recollection, revisiting ancestral lineages, releasing blocked
energies and gaining understanding about the Intent that truly motivates
your partnerships.

I love thee, I love but theeWith a love that shall not dieTill the sun grows coldAnd the stars grow old. (Willam Shakespeare)

Please be aware that we do not offer any form of fortune telling, future prediction or astrological character analysis, which we firmly oppose. Thegreatest mistake you can do with astrology is to believe that the stars and planets have an influence on your life. We develop our traits based on our life experience and not on our date of birth. Your personal horoscope shows what you are not, what you have been conditioned to see as yourself, your separate self and all its illusions. We employ astrology only as a strategic map of the separate human psyche and as a method for determining the division of time.
